Evening everyone! Has anyone else gone by a 10+ million dollar house in their boat or car and thought, geez I wonder what they do for a living? Well lets hear it.

While I'm sad to say that I am still far away from that 10 mill house on the water :smt089:grin: I own a couple of fast casual restaurants here in South Florida that I developed and we just started to roll out licensing agreements for the company. I've also been in the construction industry.

I have to admit to some curiosity. So I will play. I spent most of my life as an auto mechanic or a service writer. With 16 years as a Journeynan Technician for a multi line Car Dealer. Worked for IOPort Racing for a few years, and am now driving a desk, selling fiber optic cable. Odd jump in careers I know, goes to prove it is who you know In so far as how such a modest career got me into the nice boats we have owned, some is luck in real estate, but I tell my friends it is because I am still married to my first wife

Currently i work for my father in law doing construction. We do foundations specializing in replacement not new construction. Im usually found on the machinery (skid steer/mini ex etc) Im also in school trying to get into cal maritime academy for their marine engineering technology program.
